Chapter 597: Juggling the Hot Potato
An hour later, level five alchemist; Zhao Youshen, arrived at the city lord’s residence.
"Alchemist Zhao, thank you for coming." City Lord Lu greeted.
"Mmmm." Zhao Youshen nodded while looking around.
"Where is the poisoned person?" He asked.
"Please follow me." City Lord Lu led the way to a guest room.
"The boy is Jin Hang’s grandson. See if you can help him." City Lord Lu reminded.
Hearing this, Zhao Youshen glanced at the man but said nothing.
Jin Hang was the third elder of the Cangxing sect.
He was a talisman master and his cultivation was at the peak of the early stage of the nascent soul realm.
However, he was not most famous for his cultivation or talisman mastery.
Rather, it was because he protected his shortcomings to an unreasonable degree.
If something happened to his grandson, everyone involved would surely suffer.
"We have seen the city lord and alchemist Zhao." Liu Cheng, Qin Changfeng, and Cai Gang greeted in unison.
At the same time, Jin Yifan also appeared to say something but no words came out of his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhao Youshen frowned.
"Boy, let me feel your pulse." He said and Jin Yifan didn’t delay.
An incense stick later, Zhao Youshen released the person’s hand with an unpleasant expression.
’This is not good.’ City lord Lu thought when he saw the alchemist’s face.
However, he pretended not to understand and asked with a hopeful expression.
"Alchemist Zhao, did you find the problem?"
"His pulse is normal." Zhao Youshen spoke through gritted teeth.
He hated admitting he couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the boy.
However, he didn’t dare to be reckless with Jin Yifan.
Since he couldn’t find the problem, it was best to pass the hot potato to another alchemist.
"Nephew Jin should return to the sect as soon as possible. Maybe alchemist Shan will have a way to treat the problem." Zhao Youshen said.
After saying that, he turned to city lord Lu.
"City lord Lu, have you questioned the poison masters? What did they say?"
’This bad man!’ City Lord Lu cursed.
He originally thought the problem could be easily solved.
However, the situation seemed to be getting more complicated with every moment that passed.
’Do I really have to get involved in this matter?’ Lu Chanzi wondered.
"The poison masters are still eating at Fugui restaurant." Qin Changfeng helpfully revealed.
"Is that so?" Zhao Youshen sneered and looked at Lu Chanzi.
"Cangxing City is the largest city in the Cangxing world. Most importantly, it is the first territory of the Cangxing sect. As an elder of the Cangxing Sect, how can city lord Lu allow a poison master to casually poison people?"
Hearing this Jin Yifan and several young masters nodded in approval.
’This damned old man doesn’t want to get involved but he must be involved.’ Jin Yifan thought, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Alchemist Zhao is misunderstanding." Lu Chanzi sighed and quickly continued.
"I was more worried about nephew Jin so I prioritised his well-being. However, I have sent people to keep an eye on the two poison masters."
’I didn’t send people but Jingjing is at the restaurant. With her there, I know the situation of the two people.’ City lord Lu thought.
"Since the situation has come to this, isn’t it time for friend Lu to arrest the two poison masters?"
’Damned old man.’ City lord Lu silently cursed.
However, he also realised he had no option.
"Friend Zhao is right. I will personally arrest the people and deliver them to friend Jin." Lu Chanzi said with a self-righteous expression.
"As expected, friend Lu is the right city lord for Cangxing city." Zhao Youshen praised but Lu Chanzi narrowed his eyes when he heard the words.
’What does this bastard mean? Is he planning to cause trouble in the sect?’
"I still have something to do and won’t accompany city lord Lu to arrest people." Zhao Youshen said and hurried out the door.
Seeing this, Lu Chanzi sneered.
However, the arrow was already on the bow.
No matter what, he had to arrest the two people and send them to Jin Hang.
’What a bother.’ Lu Chanzi thought and left the city lord’s residence.
A quarter of an hour later, he arrived on the second floor of Fugui restaurant.
Seeing her grandfather, Lu Jingjing rushed over.
"Grandpa." She greeted the city lord with a questioning expression.
"It can’t be helped." Lu Chanzi sighed and Lu Jingjing vaguely understood.
"Where are the people?"
"The two seniors are sitting at the window table." Lu Jingjing whispered.
Looking over, Lu Chanzi saw two teenagers.
One wore a black robe and had black hair which was tied with a silver guan.
Beside him was a silver-haired beauty.
’They look young.’ Lu Chanzi thought.
Under other circumstances, he would think they were the juniors of a small family.
However, Lu Chanzi was not ignorant.
Although the two looked young, they were eating level-five meat and drinking level-five wine.
What did this mean?
It meant they were nascent soul realm cultivators.
However, Lu Chanzi was not convinced of this conclusion.
First, he couldn’t see the two people’s cultivation level.
As a fact, cultivators could see the cultivation level of others in the same realm.
Since Lu Chanzi couldn’t see the two people’s cultivation, there were two possibilities.
The first possibility was that the two people had a treasure, pill, talisman, or other method to hide their cultivation.
Ordinarily, this conclusion was the most plausible but Lu Chanzi felt this was not the truth.
Although he couldn’t see the two people’s cultivation, he subtly felt their aura.
From that aura, Lu Chanzi felt a level of suppression he had never felt before.
’They are not nascent soul realm cultivators but how is that possible?’ City Lu wondered with a dazed expression.
’Did some seniors return from the Cangxing world?’ Lu Chanzi thought and then shook his head.
’We don’t know much about the Reincarnation world but we at least know that everyone needs to stay there for nine thousand years. Even the first seniors who went to the Reincarnation world haven’t been there for nine thousand years.’
’In that case, who are these two seniors?"
